I hate to even talk about the dreading ‘S’ word but I’m going to do it because I spotted a display at my local Target this past weekend….school season. I keep asking myself where this year has gone and the fact that it’s nearly August has me gasping for breath! I don’t have children but I have a lot of friends that talk about the fact that it’s almost back to the grind of school season and how hectic their lives get come fall. I decided that it was time to make a snack for all my friends out there with children going back to school soon: Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Skins.

It is much too hot to cook these days, especially during the middle of the day lunch rush! The kids are home from school, hungrier than ever and I'm trying my best to get vacation ready. I find myself wondering why I'm trying so hard since we're heading to an all inclusive resort. Land of buffet and never ending slushy drinks! In any case, a person should eat more vegetables so for my latest spicy chopped salad, I added as many vegetables as I had in the fridge. It's a delicious mixture of different colors and textures with a spicy kick from the Jalapeño Ranch Greek Yogurt Dre

Even though we're still loving up our warm Summer days, I can't stop thinking that Fall is just around the corner. I'm feeling slightly cooler evenings already. Plus I've sadly spotted back to school supplies in store. Ignore, ignore!
